UIN (University ID Number)
The UIN is a unique 8-digit number used to identify student and employee records. This number is printed on all University ID cards printed by the University Card Center after May 2004.

To obtain your UIN:

• for the first time, or if you forget it, log in to the secure website, LEO Online (www.leoonline.odu.edu), with your Social Security Number or old ID number, and your PIN (see below). Click on Personal Information and then click on View University and MIDAS Identification Numbers.
• if you do not have internet access, you may visit the Office of the University Registrar with a photo ID in order to retrieve your UIN.
• Distance Learning students may visit the Site Director for assistance obtaining their UIN.

The UIN is considered personally identifiable information and is protected in the same manner as the Social Security Number.

PIN (Personal Identification Number)
The PIN is required to log in to some secure University web sites such as LEO Online and the TouchNet Student Account Suite. The PIN is a 6-digit number, initially based on a person's date of birth in MMDDYY format (For example, if your date of birth is January 21, 1975, your initial PIN would be 012175).

The first time you log in to the LEO Online secure area (or the first time you log in after your PIN has been reset), you will be prompted to change your PIN. Your new PIN must also be a 6-digit number, different from the original PIN.

If you have more than three failed attempts to log in to LEO Online, you will receive the message "Your web access has been disabled" and you will not be able to log in to LEO Online until your PIN has been reset.

• Disabled PINs are reset every business day and an e-mail is sent to the person's ODU student or faculty/staff e-mail account.
• To request a PIN reset, please contact the Office of the University Registrar at 757-683-3623 during business hours (M-F 8am-5pm), or e-mail the Registrar's Office at register@odu.edu with your full name and your date of birth.
• Distance Learning students should contact the Site Director with a picture ID or e-mail the Registrar's Office at register@odu.edu with your full name and date of birth, to request a PIN reset.

Requests to reset a PIN must be made by the student or employee, whose identity will be verified before the PIN will be reset. The Registrar's Office does not reset PINs at the request of parents or departmental staff.
